Semester Grade Calculator
Enter each grading category with its weight and your score
Frequently Asked Questions
Many classes group assignments into categories — like Homework (20%), Tests (40%), and Final Exam (40%) — and your overall grade is the weighted average of your average score in each category, not a simple average of every individual assignment.
GPA calculators average your final letter grades across multiple classes. This calculator finds your grade within a single class, based on category weights your teacher assigns (homework, quizzes, tests, final, etc.).
Make sure your category weights sum to 100% — if your syllabus lists weights that add up differently, double check you haven't missed a category (like participation or projects).
Yes — enter your current grade in every category except the final, leave the final blank, and work backward: this calculator shows your grade with whatever score you test for the final category to see what's needed for your target grade.
Weighted grade formula
Overall grade = Σ (category score % × category weight %) ÷ Σ (category weights used).
